## Understanding Properties of Limit Function
After learning the [basic concept of limits](/subject/high-school/12/mathematics/limit/concept-of-limit-function), we will now delve into **properties of limit functions** that are very helpful in solving complex limit calculations. Imagine these properties as game rules that allow us to break complex limits into simpler parts.
These limit properties become an important foundation in calculus because they allow us to calculate limits without always having to use formal definitions or value tables. By understanding these properties, limit calculations become more efficient and systematic.
## Basic Properties of Limits
### Constant Property
The simplest property is the limit of a constant function. If is a constant, then:
This means, the limit of a **constant** is the **constant itself**. This makes sense because the value of a constant does not change with respect to the variable .
### Identity Property
For the identity function, the following holds:
When approaches , the value of function also approaches .
## Arithmetic Operation Properties
Suppose and where and are real numbers, then the following properties hold:
### Addition and Subtraction Properties
The limit of the **sum** or **difference** of two functions equals the sum or difference of the **limits of each function**:
> This property allows us to break complex limits into simpler parts.
### Multiplication Property
The limit of the **product** of two functions equals the product of the **limits of each function**:
### Multiplication by Constant Property
A **constant** can be factored out from the limit sign:
### Division Property
The limit of the **quotient** of two functions equals the quotient of the **limits of each function**, provided the limit of the denominator is **not zero**:
with the condition .
## Power and Root Properties
### Power Property
The limit of a **function raised to a power** equals the **power** of the limit of the function:
where is a real number.
### Root Property
The limit of the **root of a function** equals the **root** of the limit of the function:
**Important conditions:**
- If is odd: this property applies to all values of
- If is even: (cannot be negative because the even root of a negative number is not defined in real numbers)
## Examples of Applying Limit Properties
### Simple Example
Calculate .
**Solution:**
Using limit properties:
### Example with Fractions
Calculate .
**Solution:**
Using division and multiplication properties:
Now we substitute the value :
In **decimal** form:
### Example with Roots
Calculate .
**Solution:**
Using the root property (since is even, we need to ensure the result inside the root is not negative):
Calculate the limit inside the root first:
Since , we can use the root property:
